This next generation of church leadership studied the book of Daniel using the Inductive Study Method. Join us in praying for the same faithful resolve amid opposition in these young people today demonstrated by Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Scripture.<\/p><p>D.L. Moody writes in <em>The Overcoming Life<\/em> regarding the impact of Daniel\u2019s unwavering commitment to the Lord:<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Many are mentioned in Scripture of whom we read that they lived so many years and then they died. The cradle and the grave are brought close together. They lived and they died, and that is all we know about them.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">In these days, you could write on the tombstone of many professing Christians the date they were born and the date they died. There is nothing in between. However, you can\u2019t bury a good man\u2019s influence. It lives on. They have not buried Daniel. His influence is as great today as it ever was.<\/p><p>Our prayer for these young people, as well as young believers around the globe, echoes the words of the Apostle Paul to Timothy,<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe. (1 Timothy 4:12)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past weekend our staff had the privilege of facilitating a leadership retreat in the mountains of Jarabacoa for 90 youth and volunteers from across our partnering churches.
